Mannikin Studios

Mannikin Studios is the original and exclusive maker of high quality miniatures based on the artwork of Arthur Rackham.

Rackham’s illustration for “The King of the Golden Mountain” by the Brothers Grimm and the accompanying caption were the initial inspiration for the Mannikin Studios name. Mannikin is one of many Anglicized versions of the Dutch word for “little man” (as opposed to the French, which has a related albeit different meaning). It is a short leap from mannikin to miniatures, and again to the faerie folk that Arthur Rackham helped bring to life in his illustrations of classic tales.
